Lucie the Square Kat

I’ve finally posted my latest Square Kat online which I actually finished painting over a month ago. Her name is “Lucie,” and you can talk amongst yourselves as to why that is. I was waiting to post her so I could launch her along with the very new Rots online shop! I’ve been working hard putting the shop together—and it will officially launch tomorrow—but here’s …

April Fool Square Kat

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve failed to post the finished version of my April Fool Square Kat, and there’s a perfectly good reason for that.While I was in the middle of painting the little tyke, I stopped to check my email and found I had gotten one from a representative of the Toonseum in Pittsburgh. He …

Sketchbook Project Special Edition 2012—Buster #sketchbookproject

I think I’ve been slacking a little getting these things posted. Here’s another image from my Sketchbook Project Special Edition sketchbook. It’s of Buster, who my mom used to call our “Halloween Kitty.” According to legend, he was as evil as he looks here.

New Square Kat painting: April Fool

I’ve been working on a new painting (as the title implies), and it’s of a Square Kat (also, as in above). He started out as a page in my Sketchbook Project Special Edition, but I’m thinking a lot of those little guys deserve better. So this one’s getting himself a portrait done. First off, here’s the original sketch: And here …

The next page from my Sketchbook Project Limited Edition. One of the people who likes The Rots Facebook page suggested the name “Nacho” for this little guy, and it stuck. So. Say “hello” to Nacho. You can take a look at the digital version of Nacho on this page here.

Sketchbook Project Special Edition 2012—Oscar #sketchbookproject

  Here’s the next page from my Sketchbook Project Limited Edition sketchbook. I’ve filled the entire sketchbook with Square Kats, but the twist was, I drew them all using markers. From the first pages of the sketchbook, you can pretty much tell I haven’t used markers all that much. O.K. I haven’t used them at all. This was all new …
